Common Kidney Tumours

Angiomyolipoma - this is a benign tumour and can be reliably diagnosed on CT scan and ultrasound. Small lesions do not require any treatment and can be observed. If they show growth or cause pain or bleeding they can be treated by means of angio embolization. Sometimes they may require a partial nephrectomy,which means removal of the tumour bearing portion of the kidney.

Renal Cell Carcinoma — this is a highly malignant tumour of the kidney. It is usually asymptomatic in the early stage and is generally found in a screening ultrasound.
The only effective treatment is surgical removal. If it is small then a partial nephrectomy can be done which means removal of the tumour only with a margin of normal renal parenchyma.
This procedure can be done by laparoscopy, open surgery or robotic surgery.
Radical nephrectomy is removal of entire kidney with surrounding tissue. It can also be done by any of the surgical techniques depending upon the extent of tumour and surgeon comfort.
